		<description>I&#039;m female, and generally consider males with facial asymmetry to be more attractive and interesting than their even-faced counterparts.  fwiw, I&#039;m not a drinker. 

Although I haven&#039;t extensively studied others&#039; behavior, I also tend to second what June Fowler says above about hearing and smell.  The way a man (or any person) sounds, and smells, are to me much more important indicators of what category I place them and, interestingly, how much I can trust them,  than their facial appearance. 

With men, I also notice how they move and carry themselves, and how they interact with others. 

With women, I notice how they respond to others, and especially how they react to others&#039; responses to others.

But then, I tend not to select a mate based on drinking status, mine or theirs, so maybe you don&#039;t care about my people-choosing preferences. </description>

		<description>Historically, the biology would make sense for women to be less visually oriented considering they were the guardians of the family. Therefore, smell and hearing would be more important to them so they can detect a threat that is not readily visible. Meanwhile, men, historically being the hunters, needed strong vision in order to be able to spear or shoot whatever they were hunting. Of course, you could have been just being sarcastic.</description>
